NEVER GIVE UP...
I'm excited! I'm jumping up and down as if I got million dollar on Ike to win! I'm pulling for Ike, but I love to see Skeet win one as well. Those are my two favorite fishermen. I learn my fishing style from Ike and Skeet...they are just better at it than me. ;D Ike got me hook on the jig after I read his book Fishing on the Edge. First bass I ever caught on a jig was his stone jig.

Pedestal
My local bass pro shop have seats going on sale for 9.99 at the spring classic. I'm going buy one and a new pedestal for it. I want one of these adjustable pedestal, but I keep hearing reviews how they stop working and is garbage. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_9244_225008005_225000000_225008000_225-8-5 I may not get that brand, but I want a similar item without gutting up my bank account. Do you have to properly maintain these pedestal? Oil it up, keep dirt out, keep water out, etc?

a "feel good" story
If it a joke I'll read it, if it has to do with politic and that kind of nature; I usually send the email back to every single email address that got the message and ask them where the source for it. I never get a reply. :

a "feel good" story
I don't know. It came out of the book Naked Economic by Charles Wheelan. The source where he got it from is in that book.

a "feel good" story
I believed it. I mean come on how can you blame me for believing it? Have you seen all crazy crap people do and sue for? Here a fact that I can back up. The St. Louis Cardinal had insurance on Mark McGwire. Here how it worked. The Cardinal put an insurance on their prize slugger, so if he was hurt they would still make money off the empty seat. Example: Say when McGwire is playing the average attendance would be 40,000 and then if McGwire suffered a baseball related injury and the attendance drops to 20,000. The insurance company would pay 20.00 per empty seat which in turn net 400,000 dollar in revenue for the Cardinal. Did anyone know that?

I hate thiefs....
My high school football locker room was awesome! Our lockers had a safebox on it that had combination lock to it. But again we wasn't exactly low budget high school football team. We raised a lot of money through fund raisers and winning championship so we was able to afford to install such lockers.

Unbelievable
This link will raise some furious debate. I did not intend to start this thread just have it delete or lock by the moderator, so please lets be civilized about this. http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D96DK5V81.htm I honestly believed this woman is a freaking greedy idiot! She is taking a large sum of money out of a company's hand. I can imaging a company having to cut jobs for losing this kind of cash. I mean tobacco company advertise warning all over their websites!! Even the product package gives you warning labels. Her husband knew what he was doing. I mean why does she need to be award 130 million dollar? It not going bring her husband back. This my friend is waste of capital for an industry whom spent a lot of money telling people danger of tobacco. Only in America. : P.S. this proved my theory that common sense no longer exist in America. ;D

Pay as you go phone?
Joe, Tracfone is what I had! I had cards that was like 400 minute for 3 months I believe.

Pay as you go phone?
Verizon does too. Least the saleswoman I talked to showed me. She even showed me coverage rate if I left the country. I saw how high the roaming charge and I kept my phone off during the duration of my trip to Jamaica. Anyway, back on topic here. I cannot remember name of pay as you go that I had before I got Verizon, but I remember paying 20-40 bucks for 400 minute that would last 3-4 month. It worked wonder for me, then I discovered text message and switch over to Verizon.

ARGHHH
Dude, I am! My professor is insane! I'm accounting major with minor in finance. What the heck do I care? I mean I don't want hurt people feelings that do love poetry, but it just not for me. That all I'm saying. The only poetry I like are music, but I don't want to write a paper on it. Reason is...I feel I'm more productive doing other things rather then writing papers on poetry. All I'm saying.

ARGHHH
Writing about poetry sucks! I picked this poem, because it was about death and that how I feel when I got to write about poetry or any paper in general. I nearly turn that in to my professor. :-[ :-[

The Price Of Oil vs. Gasoline
You know what funny? People griped about all the cash the oil companies has and yet those people shop at Wal-Mart whom has more revenue then pretty much all the oil companies except for Exxon. Wal-Mart even beat Chevron and few others major players. Maybe Wal-Mart ought give back some of their money. Well, I believe this is my last post and the last thread I will ever read that has to do with oil and gas. It like being on a treadmill sure it fun and consume time, but it gets us no where.

The Price Of Oil vs. Gasoline
I believe we should have offshore drilling that OPEC cannot touch. Of course I do suspect American companies will cut production here and there.
-
The Price Of Oil vs. Gasoline
Indeed. I got 50000 news all mentioning the cuts in productions until price recovers. Also the stimulus plan isn't helping the price of oil. :-X But the stimulus plan is sending the stocks up for other industries as well.

Anyone else here like to read?
Here it is. http://www.amazon.com/Journal-Patrick-Seamus-Flaherty-Vietnam/dp/0439148901 I read this book when I was 12 year old and had knee surgery. Back during the time I was home school due to knee surgery I was a huge Vietnam and WW2 nut. This was one of my favorite book. Really good read.
